OK, so is that what you did in this specific instance, or is it a general description of your typical approach to this sort of situation?

i interviewed at Amazon a few months ago and the dweebs interviewing me were getting off so hard on fulfilling some "hardcore, no-bullshit interrogator" persona. wanted to shove them all in the same locker.

A quality well thought out pitch gets you far as hell in my book

At X school, I did well in [Relevant classes] and solidified my interest in [field of job you’re interviewinf for]

I took [first job] because [rational reasons that follow from what you said before]. I learned X and excelled at [relevant shit]. Over time [logical reason for next job]

[Repeat as needed for subsequent jobs]

Going forward, id love to leverage my [skills you’ve already discussed above] in a role that provides [stuff that the job has that you’ve already proven you care about]. I’m confident this opportunity is an excellent fit and I’m excited to learn more about the role

*mic drop*

Fucking autists. It’s about pulling specific items from your story that highlight relevant skills so that it flows logically and makes you seem like the perfect candidate. Be salesy. Over time you’ll have it memorized and will be able to make subtle changes based on the particulars of the role you’re interviewjng for

I think jay-z once said “don’t bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you”

Seems relevant here

here's a tip: get out of dancing monkey frame early in the interview and they'll be far less "high stress." I know those Starbucks managers can grill you pretty hard, and we all want to see you succeed.

What are the principal levers that drive value in an LBO?

Walk me through the purchase accounting adjustments to the pro forma balance sheet in a stock merger

I just interviewed a guy with an engineering degree from MIT. Why should I hire you instead?

The interviews are often purposely high stress because interviewers are often shitheads and people use challenging questions to determine how you deal with pressure on the job.

It’s tough to convey whether or not I’m in what you call a dancing monkey frame without hearing and seeing my schpiel. The fact that you’re drawing conclusions based on that bare bones outline is more concerning than anything else - you can either be relaxed or figity, speaking too quickly or at a measured pace, be alternating tone or speaking in monotone like you’re reading a script, ect. What you say specifically is like only a quarter of the battle
